Slow day Driver? But thanks for the reminder. That post is worth repeating here:
The Jan 6 riot was wrong, lawbreakers should face charges, and as a country we should do what is needed to prevent it from happening again.
Problem is Nancy Pelosi's committee is only interested in trying to...
Sure it counts, but not for much if anything. It certainly counts for the idiots that sieged the Capitol. But were they charged with a coup attempt? No.
Thanks for pointing that out. But he never made it to inside the Capitol according to NBC news:
"Reffitt was convicted on five counts in March, including transport of a firearm in support of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding, although he did not make it inside the Capitol...
Good grief. That one has been discussed ad nauseam in the press long ago.
If that is a bad thing to ask for them indict every cheerleading team in the country.
But there are still some haters who are clinging to every imaginary thing they can think of. Think "common harmless rhetoric".
Not...
Try to keep up. I have already said that I will not defend the unlawful acts of those that got violent or illegally entered the Capitol. They have most all been charged and many (most?) are still in jail awaiting a hearing.
The "legal and lawful peaceful protest" is what Trump asked for. Many...
Some of you may think I can see your posts. It appears that I cannot see some, even though I show the following in my settings:
"You are not currently ignoring any members."
Your source does not square with various other sources. Someone is not telling the straight story.
All the more reason for the Jan6 committee to get to the truth. But they are not doing that, nor will they.
Mehta, an Obama appointee, has been trying to nail Trump for at least 3 years on various charges. No success on Mehta's part. No surprise Mehta is still trying.
Marching to the Capitol to peacefully protest is not only not illegal, it is an extremely American and patriotic thing to do.
So this...
To summarize:
1) The Jan 6 Capitol siege was no coup attempt, that is simply absurd. What chance did that crowd of misfits who entered the Capitol without even one gun have against the armed Capitol police. Not to mention the US military who could have been called in eventually.
2) The Jan6...

Capitol security is not solely the responsibility of the House speaker. It is provided by the sergeants-at-arms of the House and Senate, and by the Capitol Police.
The House...
Thanks for posting that. Trump could only make the offer to supply the troops. That offer was turned down by the Senate, the House Sergeants at Arms, and Mayor Bowser. Trump could not then force the troops to be present.
@Steam Flyer @MR.CLEAN When the Jan6 committee was being formed Kevin McCarthy was asked to assign 5 Republicans to the committee. McCarthy did so. But Pelosi rejected two of his appointments: Jim Jordan and Jim Banks. No reason given.
Infuriated by this, and rightfully so IMO, McCarthy pulled...
@Steam Flyer @MR.CLEAN How can the committee speak the words or put in writing "we refuse to hear testimony about subject x from person y" when Pelosi won't allow it and ALL of the committee members are Trump haters and are careful to only ask questions from people that they know will sound...
Don't you get it? The "you" in the "you find someone" is Pelosi or one of her followers. There are no real Republicans on that committee. Just Liz and another Trump hater.
Pelosi will never allow "finding someone" to testify to it because that could reveal the truth.
Was anyone asked? I'm not aware of it, are you? If you know, who was asked and what was their response?
Because this sham committee doesn't want to know the truth. Because that truth could basically wipe out the narrative they are trying to construct.
Isn't it important that we, as a country...
If it was proven that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to illegally steal the 2016 POTUS election then why wasn't Trump criminally charged?
No more responses from me with opinion BS like that.
What's "all over the news or not" has little to do with reality.
Trump Russia collusion was "all over the news" for 4 years. Finally debunked.
Hunter Biden's laptop was debunked as non-existent and fake news prior to the 2020 elections and for nearly 1.5 years afterwards. Now we know it is...
Someone is lying. The Jan6 committee has not gone near the above issue because they do not want to know the truth about it.
Bowser should be subpoenaed along with the House Sergeant at Arms and the Capitol Police Chief and perhaps others for questioning as to why the offer to supply at least...
Trump requested that at least 10,000 National Guard be present for Jan6 but Bowser rejected the offer.
